Arcane 39are a new-wave post-punk rock band from Middlesbrough, UK, formed in 2012, and led by fearless punk Boudicca ﻿Emma Taylor,﻿ who whacks the bass and sings from the heart, putting her own uniqueness and energy into every song. When guitarist﻿Louise Tonner﻿ is not kicking the crap out of her fellow kick-boxers, she can be found supplying the solid Arcane guitar sound to the baying crowd. Drummer Chloe Clover drives the whole Arcane sound with her breathtaking beats, pounding rhythms, fluid fills and a poignant pout. The local legend Jonny Phage brings it all together with guitar wizardry, creating wave after wave of sonic heaven, topped off with a wry smile. The band members wear their varied influences on their sleeves, creating a tightness only to be found with bands used to gigging on a regular basis. Emma writes songs based on her life experiences, which are straight to the point: cheeky, quirky, definitely no slushy love songs, and made with a true DIY ethic. They have recently recorded a seven-track promotional EP, produced by David Curle from First Avenuein Newcastle. The EP has a raw, crunchy sound to it, which the band really loves, pretty much capturing their live sound with a few extras added to the mix. They had a lot of fun making it happen.
